Comparison of allograft and polyetheretherketone (PEEK) cage subsidence rates in anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF)

Highlights • The subsidence rate does not seem to be affected by the use of either PEEK or allograft as spacers in ACDF. • Higher incidence of cage subsidence is found on lower cervical levels as more weight is supported on these levels. • Subsidence alone does not seem to be predictive of clinical...

Zusammenfassung:	Highlights • The subsidence rate does not seem to be affected by the use of either PEEK or allograft as spacers in ACDF. • Higher incidence of cage subsidence is found on lower cervical levels as more weight is supported on these levels. • Subsidence alone does not seem to be predictive of clinical outcomes of ACDF.
